What They DispIay - The Races
Yesterday-A Glance Ahead
at the Fair.

Today is the second day of the Clark
county fair, and Is named Children
Day." The children were admitted free,
and every part OF the city and country was
represented by large delegations. 1t was
great success and they enjoyed themselves
as only children can. At an early hour
they began to come and during the entire
day there was q perfect stream going
through the big gates. The kids know a
good thing when they see it, especially
when it's free. The business men and
exhibitors who have display
of any kind. and are giving away picture
cards, find an easy way to get rid o them
As the children cry out: Mister, please
give me picture card?'
At any rate. the success Of the second
day at the fair Is due to the children From
the dainty little maiden OF three up to those
of twelve years. they were As interesting
and beautiful to behold as any other thing
offered at the fair. Their amusements va
ried. but the icecreamcandy man and the
bird-show man seemed to divide their at
| tention.
During the early part of the morning.
the weather was cool and cloudy: but lit
tie later the warm sun APP
peared from behind the clouds
and made the day winner. The matter is
most important factor in the running OF a
fair. and in this particular it is fair TO pre-
snme that success will attend on this occa-
| sion.

complete, and compare very favorab'y
with those OF former years. In the center

able. considerable taste is shown IN the
arrangement. and the hall makes show
that everybody ought to see.

is to he seen than yesterday. all the shelves
and tables being filled with vegetables.
fruits and dainties.
